Book Lists

2021 Taste Canada Shortlists

Each year, Taste Canada presents awards to some of the best cookbook authors in Canada. This year, when so many Canadians have been staying close to home (and baking sourdough bread!), food writing has never seemed so important. Missing from our list below are Matty Matheson: Home Style Cookery, by Matty Matheson; The Vegan Armenian Kitchen Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora by Lena Tashjia. For all books, including French language nominees, visit https://tastecanada.org/2021-taste-canada-awards-shortlist/
